The text of this screen and digitizer parts page, as well as the
unavailability of it being sold out, speaks volumes about iphone
construction and reliability....

Maybe $169 isn't a high enough price for an LCD and digitizer if they're
selling so hot....(c;

Watch the free installation video Pete's URL points to. Glued on antenna
cables? The front's glued on, too, as you can see the contact cement
stretch when he pulls it apart.

God, what a piece of crap for $500 with a soldered-to-the-motherboard
Chinese Cheapy battery.... Hell, it doesn't even have replaceable memory!

Is the Air built this way by the Chinese slavers, too? Anyone pulled an
Air apart to look?

I fixed a Sandisk $50 MP3 player for my buddy's kids on their kitchen
table. They dropped it so far off a staircase the LCD jarred loose from
its mount. Comparing what I saw inside it and the iPhone...the Sandisk is
built like a fine watch!

.....The Sandisk didn't need a new display. The crash knocked the LCD hold
down clip loose...so it wasn't touching the contact rubber.
